    They took us to that place for interrogation when we were arrested during the protests."

    • That place is called the old Andimeshk police station; it is the first square at the entrance of Ahvaz from the direction of Andimeshk.

    The Fars News Agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, claimed on Thursday, March 11, that "Masoumeh Khamenei, the wife of Ali Khamenei, is alive."
    @VahidOOnLine
    Today, the first written message attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei was published, but at the same time, some observers pointed out a strange detail; there was no mention of his mother's death in this message. This raised serious doubts about his own status.

    Following this event, media outlets close to the government have now provided a new narrative.

    The Fars News Agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, announced in a message:
    "It is hereby informed that the wife of the martyr leader of the revolution is alive, and the initial news published about her martyrdom was incorrect."

    ♦️The Wall Street Journal, on Thursday, March 11, quoted military experts as saying that the limitations on air and naval operations in the battle against the Islamic Republic have put Washington in a strategic deadlock. These analysts believe that the continued presence of the current government in Tehran, while maintaining its nuclear and missile capabilities, effectively hands control of global energy markets over to Iran.

    Security experts warn that if diplomatic avenues fail, relying on air power alone will not be sufficient to achieve vital objectives, including reopening the "Strait of Hormuz" and neutralizing remaining nuclear stockpiles. Brian Katulis, a senior expert at the "Middle East Institute," states: "Washington's strategic priorities will likely require the deployment of ground forces and the seizure of parts of Iran's coastline."

    Four days after the announcement of Mojtaba Khamenei's appointment as the leader, a written message from him has been published in Iranian media.
    In the message attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei, he calls for the continued efforts of the Islamic Republic to close the Strait of Hormuz and requests that "other fronts" be opened as well.
    It is also reported that Mojtaba Khamenei stated that the Islamic Republic will not refrain from avenging the blood of Seyyed Ali Khamenei and the "blood of martyrs."
    This message does not include any photos or videos and provides no information about his health and physical condition. Previously, there were speculations about severe injury or even the death of Mojtaba Khamenei.
    @VahidHeadline
    Mojtaba Khamenei, the new leader of the Islamic Republic, claimed in the first statement released by his office that he learned of the Assembly of Experts' decision regarding his selection through television.

    This comes as reports had previously emerged indicating that negotiations had taken place with leadership candidates of the Islamic Republic, and they had refused to accept responsibility.

    In his statement, Mojtaba Khamenei called for the continued "presence" of supporters of the Islamic Republic in the streets and explicitly stated regarding the ongoing war: "Certainly, we must continue to use the lever of blocking the Strait of Hormuz."

    In recent days, the Revolutionary Guards have intensified attacks on commercial ships, oil tankers, and oil reservoirs of Gulf countries, effectively halting trade in the Strait of Hormuz.

    He also threatened: "Studies have been conducted regarding the opening of other fronts where the enemy has little experience and will be highly vulnerable, and activation will occur if the state of war continues and based on the consideration of interests."

    🔸Ali Larijani made this threat on Thursday on X in response to comments made by Donald Trump, the President of the United States, regarding targeting Iran's electricity.

    🔸Mr. Trump stated on Wednesday that if the Islamic Republic of Iran escalates tensions in the Middle East, "we can disable their power capacity within an hour, and it will take them 25 years to rebuild it."

    🔸This comes as Iran has intensified attacks on oil tankers and oil reservoirs since yesterday with the aim of raising oil prices.

    With the sharp increase in fuel costs and disruptions in flight paths due to insecurity in many parts of the Middle East, airlines around the world have raised ticket prices. According to Reuters, the price of jet fuel, which was around $85 to $90 per barrel before the onset of conflicts, has now reached approximately $150 to $200. This significant increase in fuel costs has led some airlines to raise flight ticket prices to compensate for their operational expenses.

    According to the New York Times, in a Pentagon briefing to U.S. lawmakers, it was stated that the first week of the war against Iran cost the United States more than $11.3 billion. The New York Times, citing sources familiar with the closed-door session on Tuesday, reported that this figure does not include many costs related to the preparation and deployment of forces prior to the start of the attacks; therefore, the actual cost of the first week of the war may be significantly higher. Defense officials had previously informed Congress that approximately $5.6 billion worth of munitions were used in just the first two days of the conflict, a figure that is much higher than previous public estimates.

    Israel says it has attacked the Talqan site in Parchin

    The Israeli army announced on Thursday that it has attacked a nuclear facility near Tehran known as "Talqan."

    In its statement, the Israeli army referred to this facility as the "Talqan Complex" and stated that the Iranian government was using it "to advance its nuclear weapons capabilities."

    The Israeli army's message noted that in the 2000s, the Talqan facility was used for the development of advanced explosives and conducting sensitive tests as part of the secret "Amad" project.

    It had previously been reported that Talqan 2 had been targeted during the twelve-day war between Israel and the U.S. against Iran. About a month ago, the Institute for Science and International Security based in Washington released satellite images indicating that new construction activities had taken place at the former site known as "Talqan 2." According to this institute, at that time, Iran had covered large areas of the "Talqan 2" facility in Parchin with soil after reinforcing its concrete layers.

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, on Wednesday, speaking to a crowd in Kentucky, referred to the end of operations against the Islamic Republic, saying: "We don't want to leave too soon, right? We need to finish the job, right?"

    Mr. Trump stated that the Islamic Republic's air force "is gone—completely gone. It took about three hours."

    He added: "They no longer have radar. They have no air defense systems. They have nothing. Their missiles have decreased by 90% and their drones by 85%. We are blowing up the factories where these are made one after another."

    Mr. Trump said that during the Midnight Hammer operation, the nuclear capabilities of the Islamic Republic were destroyed, but "after the Midnight Hammer operation, we thought their work was done for a while. But they started again. That's why we need to finish the job, right? We don't want to come back every two years and see the same situation again."

    Reports indicate that a "numbers station" is sending encoded messages in Persian via shortwave radio; messages that some intelligence experts believe may be used to communicate with information sources inside Iran.

    According to this report, these broadcasts began hours after the attacks on March 1 against the Islamic Republic, from a transmitter located somewhere in Western Europe. In these messages, a Persian-speaking voice reads a series of numbers after saying "attention."

    Some former U.S. intelligence officials have stated that such stations are typically used to send instructions to field agents or to designate meeting points and operational orders, and are often used as a backup communication method in emergency situations.

    Experts say that these broadcasts were temporarily disrupted in the following days by beeping sounds and electronic noise; an action that is believed to be an attempt to create interference and cut off these communications.
